A Navy service member was sentenced to just over two years in prison after he pled guilty to being bribed to send sensitive military information to a Chinese intelligence officer.  Petty Officer Wenheng Zhao‚ a 26-year-old from Monterey Park‚ California‚ was sentenced to just 27 months in prison and ordered to pay a $5‚500 fine after his guilty plea for one count of conspiring with an intelligence officer and one count of receiving a bribe. Zhao could have faced up to 20 years in prison‚ 15 years for the conspiracy charge and 5 years for the bribery charge. “Mr. Zhao betrayed his solemn oath to defend his country and endangered those who serve in the U.S. military‚” said Assistant Attorney General Matthew G. Olsen of the Justice Department’s National Security Division. “Today‚ he is being held to account for those crimes. The Justice Department is committed to combating the Chinese government’s efforts to undermine our nation’s security and holding accountable those who violate our laws as part of those efforts.”  He was paid at least $14‚866 by a Chinese intelligence officer for sending information on the U.S. Navy operational security‚ military trainings and exercises‚ and critical infrastructure‚ according to the DOJ.  The Navy service member‚ who had a security clearance‚ worked at Naval Base Ventura County in Port Hueneme‚ California. The DOJ said that the bribery took place from August 2021 to May 2023 during which Zhao went into restricted locations to obtain information.  The DOJ said that the information given to the Chinese intelligence officer included the plans of a large-scale training exercise in the Pacific and operational orders and documents on Ground/Air Task Oriented Radar system in Okinawa‚ Japan.

Today’s sentence shows that my office will swiftly act to root out and punish those who seek to undermine our nation’s security.” The investigation was led by the FBI Los Angeles Field Office’s Counterintelligence and Cyber Division‚ the Naval Criminal Investigative Service‚ and the IRS-Criminal Investigation unit.

In a startling revelation that has sent shockwaves through the political landscape‚ former Representative Madison Cawthorn has come forward with claims that the government is orchestrating ‘honeypot’ operations to blackmail and control politicians. These allegations have raised serious concerns about the integrity of governmental agencies and the vulnerability of elected officials to covert manipulation. Cawthorn described his personal experiences with what he believes to be attempts at entrapment by extraordinarily attractive individuals‚ colloquially referred to as “tens‚” who appeared in places where they seemed out of place and showed an unusual interest in him. He recounted one such incident in Texas‚ where he felt that the situation was too orchestrated to be coincidental‚ leading him to suspect a ‘honeypot’ trap. Madison Cawthorn exposes the truth about “Blackmail” and “Honeypots” in Congress pic.twitter.com/DXMFZU3R2q — Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) January 7‚ 2024 The former congressman’s assertions suggest a shadowy operation within the government‚ utilizing seductive tactics to compromise public officials. He insinuated that a recently leaked story about the FBI investigating a high-class brothel was a veiled threat to Congress‚ hinting that members could find their names on a list if they opposed certain government actions. This claim gains further weight considering the timing of the leak‚ which occurred just days before a significant vote on funding for new FBI headquarters. The Justice Department had announced arrests in a high-end brothel network allegedly frequented by elected officials‚ military officers‚ and other professionals with security clearances‚ adding credibility to Cawthorn’s hypothesis of a blackmail scheme. “hey‚ we’re going to have a kind of a sexual get together at one of our homes. You should come.” And I’m like‚ what did you just ask me to come to? And then you realize they’re asking you to come to an orgy.” ~ Former Congressman Madison Cawthorn pic.twitter.com/H1mz1KnjuA — Shelley (@ProudArmymom66) January 8‚ 2024 Cawthorn also shed light on the darker side of Washington D.C.‚ revealing invitations to orgies and drug parties he received. His candid discussion on the perversion and filth in the capital was met not with an investigation but with a warning from House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy to turn his life around or face consequences. This response‚ coupled with the subsequent smears and hit pieces against Cawthorn‚ paints a grim picture of the political ‘rite of passage’ for non-conformists. The implications of these alleged ‘honeypot’ operations are far-reaching‚ potentially affecting the decision-making process and independence of those in power. If true‚ such practices represent a grave threat to democracy‚ undermining the trust between the public and their representatives. As the story unfolds‚ it remains to be seen how these explosive allegations will be addressed by the authorities and what measures will be taken to ensure the protection of elected officials from such compromising situations. The need for transparency and accountability in government has never been more evident‚ as the very foundations of ethical governance are called into question. The former congressman’s experience serves as a cautionary tale for all public figures to remain vigilant against potential traps set to undermine their integrity. It also calls upon the citizenry to demand greater scrutiny of the mechanisms of power that operate behind closed doors‚ ensuring that those who serve the public do so without the specter of coercion hanging over their heads.

It’s not uncommon for folks to dream about the person they’ll marry one day. What’s less common‚ though‚ is a father having a dream about the person their child will one day marry — and being right about it. But that’s exactly what Brooke Carver says happened with her dad. This dream took place in November 2017. In it‚ her dad sees a man with blonde hair and blue eyes — he describes him as looking like a Viking. The weirdest part is that this man looks nothing like her current boyfriend at that time. Brooke doesn’t think much about it until years later‚ at which point they had already broken up. Her ex turned out to be abusive‚ so healing and moving on took time. Then in 2021‚ all at once‚ Brooke’s life changes when she meets a blonde haired‚ blue eyed guy named Johnathan Carver. TikTok They meet on Hinge and instantly feel a connection. Johnathan swears that he’s seen her before. After a while‚ it finally hits him: Three and a half years earlier‚ he saw her in the parking lot of a marina. She was getting out of a red Corvette. This moment took place in December 2017 on Brooke’s birthday. It was her first and last time in the area. She was there for a sailboat party in celebration of her 30th birthday‚ all thanks to her sister. The only reason he didn’t ask for her number that day is because he saw Brooke’s ex get out of the car with her. TikTok Father Has a Dream of Daughter’s Future Husband Soon after the two start dating‚ Brooke introduces him to her father. As soon as Dad meets Johnathan‚ he’s certain he’s the guy from his dreams. Four weeks later‚ the two get engaged. Five months later‚ they get married. Now‚ two years later‚ they’re happier than ever. “The amount of crazy synchronicities in this story is insane‚” Brooke says. Brooke shares her story on social media‚ and the folks in the comments can’t agree more! TikTok “Can your dad dream about who my person is supposed to be please?” one person writes. “Don’t listen to the rude comments‚” another says. “‘When you know‚ you know’ is a real thing and people can never relate until they’ve felt it!
